HF 2529 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for the repair of a diesel exhaust fluid system that is part of farm equipment, and providing penalties.

HF 2529 requires manufacturers of farm equipment with diesel exhaust fluid systems to provide owners (farmers, lessees, or licensees) with free diagnostic and repair information, including software updates, on the same terms they offer to their authorized repair providers. It also mandates that manufacturers make replacement parts and diagnostic tools available for purchase at fair, reasonable prices comparable to those offered to authorized repair providers in the same region. The bill does not force manufacturers to disclose trade secrets or override existing agreements, but voids contracts that waive these new rights. This directly affects farmers who operate diesel-powered agricultural equipment requiring emissions control systems.
